Which MG ZS EV variant should you buy?

There are 4 ways to buy a ZS EV, across 4 trims, from ₹17.99L to ₹20.75L ex-showroom Delhi.

Pound for pound the ladder pays best at Exclusive Plus: ₹1.25L more than Excite Pro, and no rung you pay extra for hands back more kit per rupee.

Above that, the one to think hardest about is Essence. At ₹0.75L over Exclusive Plus it asks the most per feature of anything higher up the range, so take it because you want what it adds, not because it is next.

How this is worked out: every step below compares the cheapest way into one trim with the cheapest way into the next, then weighs what the money buys against what it costs. No opinion is added on top, and nothing is rounded in a trim's favour. Read the full method.

Where the kit that matters lands

  • Airbags: all 6 are standard from the base Executive, so nobody has to spend up for them.
  • Safety kit: Essence, from ₹20.75L, is the cheapest trim with every safety feature this car offers at its best. Spending past it buys comfort and cosmetics, not protection.
  • Automatic: the cheapest is the Executive Electric AT at ₹17.99L. See it
